We love tea, in fact it is the second most popular drink in the world after good old H2O, water.

You can lose weight by sweating. In fact you could probably lost up to 60% of your body weight through fluid loss, although I doubt doing this by sweating would work. If it did, you would be a desiccated corpse, just like something a spider might fancy for lunch. Not what you had in mind for your beach body this summer, I’m sure.
Sweat Loss Can Be Good Or Bad
Good sweat loss is when you lose fluids by burning up fat and sweating to cool off. Bad sweat loss is when you simply sweat fluid because your body is being heated, by the sun or a sauna and you are not moving. If you generate the heat by burning fat to fuel the muscles to work and move you then a by-product is the fluid from the fat cells expunged from…

Sweat Equity Can Be Literal

African Mango, or Irvingia Gabonensis, is not the same fruit as the common mango, or Mangifera Indica. For a start, one originated in India, hence the name ‘Indica’, and the other in West Africa, indicated by the ‘Gabon’ (a West African country) in Gabonensis. The only thing, apart from the word mango that they have in common is they are both drupes. Drupes are a kind of fruit that has a fleshy outer part covering a stone or seed. Apricots, peaches, mangos and mangosteens are drupes, but none of these are the same item as African Mango and they don’t have the same weight loss benefits, either.
African Mango Has Many Uses
This fruit has many applications, not just for weight loss. In West Africa it is used for weight gain. The nuts, or seed are crushed and…
